Lincoln County Entries

In 1780 Kentucky County, Virginia, was divided
into three counties: Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln. The Virginia General
Assembly instructed the Kentucky County Surveyor to copy land entries into
separate volumes for each of the new counties. This database includes 4763
Entries reserving land for patenting in the Lincoln County area beginning
November 3, 1779, and ending April 19, 1792. Researchers should consult
Jillson's Kentucky Land Grants and publications by the Kentucky Historical
Society to determine if the Entry actually resulted in a patent.
